The Pancha Bhoota Sthalam
Five shrines of Shiva in South India, each for one of the five elements: earth at Ekambareswarar in Kanchipuram, water at Jambukeswarar in Thiruvanaikaval, fire at Arunachaleswarar in Tiruvannamalai, air at Srikalahasti, and space at Nataraja in Chidambaram. Each has LOQAH's carefully crafted stamp.
